Old Flashlights............Anyone?

Over the years I have purchased a few older flashlights, most found at estate sales(garage sales). The latest one was a real find, I think. It is the big red one in the center. Pictures attached.

It is a Fairbanks, Morse & Co. Model G-10482. Someone has scratched "UPRR" on it. I am assuming that stands for Union Pacific RailRoad. I have done extensive searches on the internet for any information I could find on this flashlight with no luck.

Of course the lamp is burned out and I have had no luck in finding a replacement for that either. The lamp is a GE 1597. I was also looking for the origional battery if it is still made. I can always adapt batteries when I find a bulb.

Any old railroaders here?

Not bad for three bucks. That is if I can find a bulb!

anybody?

.......the sound of crickets.......





OK, I do have a great ancient lantern style flashlight. No pictures of it.

I also really like my 'cop size' mag light which can double as a weapon that I'd probably be beaten senseless with if it ever came down to it.

Thanks for the link! I sent an e-mail to GE with the specifics.
